1 A fter these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

2 N ow there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.

and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep- a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches,

3 I n these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water,

4 f or an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the waters stepped in was made whole, with whatsoever disease he was holden.

for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.

5 A nd a certain man was there, who had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity.

and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years,

6 W hen Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wouldest thou be made whole?

him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, `Dost thou wish to become whole?'

7 T he sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

The ailing man answered him, `Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.'

8 J esus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.

Jesus saith to him, `Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;'

9 A nd straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day.

and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,

10 S o the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed.

the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, `It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.'

11 B ut he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

He answered them, `He who made me whole -- that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;'

12 T hey asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

they questioned him, then, `Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?'

13 B ut he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place.

But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.

14 A fterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.

After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, `Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.'

15 T he man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,

16 A nd for this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.

and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.

17 B ut Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work.

And Jesus answered them, `My Father till now doth work, and I work;'

18 F or this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only brake the sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

19 J esus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner.

Jesus therefore responded and said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;

20 F or the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and greater works than these will he show him, that ye may marvel.

for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.

21 F or as the Father raiseth the dead and giveth them life, even so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.

`For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;

22 F or neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son;

for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son,

23 t hat all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father that sent him.

that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

24 V erily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life.

`Verily, verily, I say to you -- He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

25 V erily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.

`Verily, verily, I say to you -- There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;

26 F or as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself:

for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

27 a nd he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.

28 M arvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

`Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,

29 a nd shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.

and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

30 I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

`I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

31 I f I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

`If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true;

32 I t is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;

33 Y e have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth.

ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.

34 B ut the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved.

`But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved;

35 H e was the lamp that burneth and shineth; and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.

he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

36 B ut the witness which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

`But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

37 A nd the Father that sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

`And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;

38 A nd ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.

and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.

39 Y e search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me;

`Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;

40 a nd ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.

and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;

41 I receive not glory from men.

glory from man I do not receive,

42 B ut I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves.

but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.

43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

`I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive;

44 H ow can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not?

how are ye able -- ye -- to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that from God alone ye seek not?

45 T hink not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope.

`Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses -- in whom ye have hoped;

46 F or if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.

for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;

47 B ut if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?'
